Yeah, they don't get along, but do you really think they're "nothing to each other"?
Also, it's easy to have relationships with people you don't see socially. It's strange when you aren't friends with someone and you aren't family. I've experienced that myself where I spend 10 hours a day with a person for months and an emotional bond develops. We plot, we despair, we rejoice, we figure out problems, but then when our work is done, the cement that held us together comes suddenly undone and it's a very strange place to be in. You relied on this person in many ways as you do family, but then, when the thing you had in common is over, you have no other way in which to relate. It's funny, because when I left my firm, I just moved right around the corner. I'm on the same floor as they are. So, I see these people who I once was with constantly all the time in the corridor and I go from having had so much to say and share with them to just saying, "How're doing?"
Actually, as the oldest generation in my family dies off, I am experiencing that with my own relatives. It's not that we don't love each other and have memories, but if we aren't traveling to Grandma's house every year where we all meet up, there's really nothing that keeps us together. I mean, I like my cousins a lot, but I'm not flying back to Michigan just to see
them. If our parents and grandparents aren't keeping us together, we lose touch fast.
In the last years, I've gone from knowing when a cousin bought new shoes, to barely finding out when she just had a baby.
So, no I don't buy the fact that everything is lovey dovey for Stevie and Lindsey. In fact, they could be chummy on Tuesday and bitter enemies on Thursday. That's how it is. But I don't think they don't love each other and don't have a relationship. Heck, I don't know how you can rehearse, travel and perform with someone for months, years on end and not form a relationship, even against your will.
John once said that even though they don't see each other every day, they are like two brothers and two sisters and I don't think he was laying it on. I think it's the truth. He and Lindsey are probably the two most distant in the entire band, yet I believe THEY have a strong bond, a relationship, a true love. There's stuff there and not all of it good, but I don't think it's indifference or not a relationship.
